Making your own pads - This is pretty easy! All you need is some cloth and a sewing machine. IYou can use a pattern
which you my obtained from www.candleonthehill.com . This is a simple pattern, they also sell the materials you will need. Choosing your materials - Using my chart for diapering
materials you can choose to use any of the materials listed. Flannels being the cheapest and organics being more expensive.
Terry toweling makes a good inside soaker. I like to use Pro-care or Pul for the water proof layer but some of the fleeces
you get at diaper shops will work also. You will find that if you wish to use organics and special materials you will
need to go to places like www.candleonthehill.com , www.sewshoppe.com , www.diapershop.com or may favorite www.wazoodles.com . Why would I
want to even use Cloth Pads? Recently they have
discovered the use of some of the chemicals in the modern pads ( with the exceptions of the organics) may cause endorcine
disorders. How many pads would I need? This depends on how often you are going to want
to wash them. Usaually , 12 is enough. How do I wash and care for these pads? When you first get them they should be washed a few times before using, this actually makes them more
absorbant . Purchase a nice med. bucket with a lid. This is where you will place them when they are dirty. (always make
sure lid is snug to keep children from getting into it) . Fill this with cold water and toss your pads to soak
in this. Change your soak water daily, (dump down toliet , do not let the pads get flushed) then refill with cold water.
This soaks out the blood. When your ready for washing , just throw them in with like colors, be sure not to use bleach
with your pads and softners make them less absorbant. I usaully throw them in with the daily towels as I do 2 loads
of thoes a day with my size family. How Long will
my pads last? Your pads should last for as long
as a flannel diaper or shirt would. That could be quite awhile.
We will carry cloth pads which I make ,
materials will vary to what type of diaper I am making but I can always do a request for a certain type of materials. Just
contact me. |
